Devil’s Warmth

Chapter 38: 38. In the arms

Views:

After returning from vacation in October, Bei Yao saw a love letter in the drawer after finishing her evening study.

The pink cover, sprinkled with gold powder, looks beautiful and attentive. Although the management of the sixth middle school is not as strict as the third middle school, it still prohibits premature love. Teenagers seldom confess blatantly. Even writing love letters requires courage.

Bei Yao glanced at the cover, which read a boy's name-Han Zhen.

The pen is free and easy, and the writing is particularly beautiful.

Bei Yao knows about Han Zhen, a tall boy in the second grade (1) class. His terminology was in front of him last time. Bei Yao is seventh in grade and Han Zhen is third in age. He is the first in class one.

Bei Yao put it in his schoolbag, Wu Mobi who was doing homework next to him paused, raised his head and joked: "Bei Yao, Han Zhen's love letter, don't you read it?"

Bei Yao tilted her head to look at her. The incandescent lamp in the classroom was bright, reflected in Bei Yao's pair of clear pupils, letting go of the scattered light in full bloom, there was a kind of amazing beauty. Wu Mo squeezed the pen: "Why don't you speak?"

Bei Yao said solemnly with a small face: "Wu Mo, I respect your privacy, and please respect my privacy."

Wu Mo was a little embarrassed. Almost the entire second year of high school knew that Bei Yao, the school girl, had a good temper. She had good grades and never hesitated to give lectures to her classmates. A pair of Myolie's eyes are clear and beautiful, and her long eyelashes are soft, and her smile is sweet to people's hearts.

Such a person rarely speaks heavy words, and everyone likes her very much. But if she did this today, she blamed Wu Mo for looking at her privacy.

Wu Mo put down the pen: "I didn't see it on purpose. His name is written on the cover. Can you blame me? I'm just kidding. Are you like this?"

In fact, the love letter was secretly placed in Bei Yao's desk, and it was placed very deep. If Wu Mo didn't see it intentionally, it would be invisible.

Bei Yao doesn't know if the love letter has ever been opened, but as Chen Feifei said, Wu Mo has changed a lot. Growing up has sharpened the personalities of many people, such as Fang Minjun and Chen Hu, who are getting better and better, but Wu Mo is obviously much worse.

Bei Yao didn't argue with Wu Mo either. As soon as Chen Feifei came over, she left with Chen Feifei.

The classmates of the evening self-study were all packing up their things one after another and preparing to leave. Wu Mo felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had pressed something.

She knows that since the last "online dating" incident, the three people in the dormitory have deliberately alienated themselves. Wu Mo thought to himself, why would they alienate themselves? Do they look down on her and think that she is greedy for money to be deceived? Thinking in a more serious direction, will they feel that they are "unclean".

Wu Mo was ashamed and aggrieved, so why? She is also a victim, how could they treat her like this. She doesn't trust her roommates, she always feels that one day they will speak out, and her reputation will be ruined.

There are four people in the bedroom, and Wu Mo admires Bei Yao the most. Even if Bei Yao's family is the worst, she is popular, and she has a face that everyone admires. In a dormitory, she knows how good Bei Yao is. Bei Yao has almost everything Wu Mo admires. She couldn't understand why Chen Feifei and Yang Jia could stand with Bei Yao uncomplainingly and still like her so much. Wouldn't they feel inferior

When the classroom lights were off, Wu Mo was going to go back to the classroom, but the more he thought about it, the less he felt.

He is "notorious", but Bei Yao is "ice and jade." All those who like Bei Yao are very good people.

She turned to the camphor forest of the school.

She read the love letter.

Under the camphor tree, a slender young man was waiting nervously.

Wu Mo said, "Han Zhen?"

The boy turned his head and showed a handsome face. He looked really good, in line with the aesthetics of girls on campus this year, handsome and clean, with a gentle smile.

Han Zhen looked familiar with her: "May I ask you who you are?"

"My name is Wu Mo, Bei Yao's roommate."

Han Zhen blushed. He thought about many possibilities, Bei Yao would come or not, but he didn't expect her roommate to come, so he had to politely say: "Hello."

Wu Mo said slightly: "Bei Yao looked at you... She didn't come, Bei Yao worked very hard in her studies, don't disturb her."

Han Zhen said lost: "Well, I know, learning is the most important thing."

Wu Mo said, "In fact, it is not. You know, there are many people who like Bei Yao."

Han Zhen looked up and listened to her.

"But Bei Yao thinks that most of her likes are superficiality, do you really dare to confess to her face to face? Don't be afraid of anything, let everyone know that?"

Han Zhen has a good family background and has been well-educated since he was a child. He made up his mind and coughed slightly: "Okay." He asked Wu Mo, "Will she agree?"

Wu Mo's heart beat: "Sure, she told me that she likes brave and determined people."

Han Zhen said: "I see, three days later, in the autumn marathon, can you please bring me a message, and ask her to wait for me at the finish line."

Back to the bedroom, the other roommates have washed up.

Chen Feifei said, "Wu Mo, why did you come back so late? Auntie almost closed the door."

Wu Mo was a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Bei Yao: "I have a stomachache, and there is a toilet upstairs in the classroom."

The other girls were not suspicious. They would turn off the lights in the dormitory after a while.

When the lamp went out, Wu Mo saw the graceful shadow on the opposite side and bit her lip lightly. The first time she did something bad, her heart was pounding, and she was unavoidable that she was jealous that someone would go ahead for Baiyao.

Mingming, Mingming Han Zhen knew that he would be punished.

The autumn marathon is the tradition of the high school in City C. In addition to the 13th and sixth high schools, other high schools will also participate. Because it is grand and lively, the school will have a day off.

October is about the month with the most vacations except for winter and summer vacations.

When the sports committee member brought the registration form in the second (9) class of the third high school, Jinyang Yang said, "I have registered for you."

Pei Chuan, who was writing the paper, raised his head and said, "No."

Jin Jinyang said: "Why, it's so lively, even if the race is not complete, the beauties look very handsome even if they don't complete the journey."

And Chuan brother's arm muscle lines are really good-looking, and he is super masculine when exercising.

Pei Chuan didn't explain, he lowered his head and continued to write the chemistry papers.

Jin Yang and the others didn't know that he had no calves, and sports trousers concealed his incompleteness all the time. When they first met Pei Chuan, they only knew that the boy was rich, lived by himself and was very free, but they didn't know his past.

Pei Chuan seems to have no family. Sometimes Jinyang and the others accidentally ask about his past, and he gets very cold.

After a long time, everyone will know that family and the past are his inferior scales, and I feel obediently not to mention it anymore.

Zheng Hang said: "I want to go, give me one."

Jin Jinyang replied: "That's right!" He went to poke Ji Wei in front of him again, "Viagra, can't you go!"

Ji Wei moved his shoulders and pushed his glasses to resist: "How many times have you said not to call me'Viagra', listen and follow... I'm not going, I want to preview the third chapter of English, I will definitely be able to take the exam this time. of."

Jin Yang laughed wildly and patted him on the shoulder. Knowing that the thin Ji Wei didn't like these sports, he didn't do anything this time and didn't write his name on it.

Pei Chuan looked at the chemical equation on the paper, and Jinyang Yang and Zheng Hang around him were discussing the autumn games fiercely. He fell silent and couldn't see the contents of the paper.

However, he knew that he could not exercise like a normal person. In the last basketball game, he was absent from school for three days, his stump was red and swollen, and he could hardly get out of bed.

His body does not allow him to do many things, so he can only listen to others.

In the autumn of October, the ginkgo trees on the campus of No. 3 Middle School began to turn yellow. The girl was wearing a bright red jacket with two straps intertwined behind her neck. She was wearing a school uniform jacket from No. 6 Middle School. The red lining made her cheeks white.

Beiyao panted and looked into the third middle school campus.

The last session of their class on Tuesday was physical education, so Bei Yao drove over to the third middle school, and the third middle school has not finished class yet.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked along the yellowing ginkgo tree towards the campus.

Jinglingjing's get out of class bell rang, and the students rushed out. Bei Yao couldn't help but avoid them. The third middle school also had to wear school uniforms, a set of purple and white, and a set of blue and white, but she didn't watch Pei Chuan go through it.

There was a little blue and white dolphin printed on her shoulder, and she walked forward to a secluded teaching building. Bei Yao was afraid that Pei Chuan had already left, so she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called him.

The other end was quickly connected, and the young man's voice was low, and he heard a little coldly: "Bei Yao."

"Well, it's me. I have a lot of ginkgo trees in your school. Do you have time to come here?"

"good."

Pei Chuan hung up the phone and said to Jin Ziyang, "You go to dinner first, I have something to do."

After speaking, without looking at their expressions, they went to the school ginkgo grove.

Naturally, Jin Ziyang and the others would not go to the cafeteria to eat, and a few people hooked their shoulders and said, "Why don't they go to'Qing Shi' for dinner, it's been a long time."

"Let's go, call Brother Chuan later, and study Lao Shen's late." Lao Shen's temperament is Wen Tun, who is the "object of bullying" of the bad students. Several people laughed and walked out.

Pei Chuan walked to the ginkgo forest.

The ginkgo was half yellow and half green, and the branches and leaves were falling. She was sitting on the big rock with a schoolbag on her back. Xu was exhausted and put his hands on his knees to gasp.

The girl was wearing school uniform pants. Because the trouser legs were too long, she rolled up a bit, and when she sat down, her ankles were very thin.

Her legs were hanging in the air, her bangs were gently swayed by the breeze, and the ginkgo leaves fell on her side.

There were still people on the basketball court who hadn't left, and a few boys hadn't played the ball. They all watched her secretly. She was exhausted with her schoolbag, and she didn't know.

Pei Chuan's eyes dropped.

"Pei Chuan!" Bei Yao shouted with a smile, her ending voice was very soft, and the eyes of the caring people were a little bit awkward, but in fact, the voice was gentle, like a Jiangnan soft language.

Pei Chuan walked over, but she did not jump down, sitting on the big rock still not as high as him.

Bei Yao took out a simple lunch box from her schoolbag, Pei Chuan looked over, her cheeks flushed, "My mother made dumplings and five-color cakes, it’s the Double Ninth Festival today."

Sure enough, in the iron lunch box, the steamed dumplings and the five-color cake are half open.

It's not that good to look good, and it's still a bit cold.

She motioned for him to continue, and Pei Chuan took it over: "Did you run over?"

"No, I came by car." She said with a smile, just running over from school to the station and on the way to get off the train.

Pei Chuan had an absurd guess in his heart when he looked at things like Jinyang Yang and others in the lunch box would dismiss it. Bei Yao doesn't know his current life, so he takes care of him as he did when he was a child.

She may have heard of the "Three Middle Peichuan" from others, but for Bei Yao, this is just an unclear term. In her heart, he is still Pei Chuan who has not left.

She didn't know that he had nearly stepped into the abyss.

He squeezed the lunch box, his eyes fell on the little panda on her schoolbag.

Bei Yao saw it too, and she asked him, "Did you give this one?"

Pei Chuan did not deny: "Yeah."

Bei Yao was very confused: "Do you know that my red panda is broken?"

To her Qing Lingling's eyes, he could only lie: "Is that broken? I saw this by accident and thought it looked like you, so I bought it casually."

He had a calm tone, but Bei Yao didn't doubt it.

In the eyes of the sixteen-year-old, monitoring is really a remote matter.

She has a sweet tone and loves it very much: "Thank you, I like it very much, and it won't be broken in the future."

There was a piece of his heart beating uncontrollably, as if he went crazy that night, and he had a home in this smile. He stood slightly away, afraid she would hear his heartbeat.

In front of her, he didn't know how to laugh, but his eyes couldn't help being softened. It was much more dull than all the flamboyant and frivolous smiles, but it was much more real.

Bei Yao has to go back soon, she is going to study in the evening.

Pei Chuan did not send her out of school. He watched her walking away, and for the first time he felt that deceiving her more than a year ago was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.

The third and sixth schools are not far away, but they can't see each other, and there won't be a second girl who has worked so hard to give him food.

She is so beautiful when she grows up, but anyone who is more arrogant, knows that it is good for him to be disabled like this, and it is a shame for her herself.

However, she walked in the ginkgo grove, with a simple and happy back, and she didn't seem to feel embarrassed.

When she was far away, Pei Chuan returned to the classroom and ate the dumplings and five-color cakes she had brought.

In the night of "Pour the World", at the KTV on the fourth floor, Pei Chuan leaned against the window and smoked.

None of them went to self-study for today's evening. From the perspective of the world, they could see the lights of the sixth middle school's teaching building come on successively.

He suddenly had the urge to look at her life now. Just look at it from a distance.

Jinziyang said: "It would be great if Qingshi added a ballroom. Brother Chuan, come here for a drink?"

Pei Chuan turned his head, KTV group demons danced wildly, and the sixth middle school in the distance was bright and quiet.

Pei Chuan said, "I'll go down and walk around."

He walked from the darkness to No. 6 Middle School, and at the gate of No. 6 Lieutenant Colonel, he met Wu Mo.

Pei Chuan did not squint, Wu Mo's heartbeat speeded up for a moment: "Pei Chuan!" She trot over, "You, why did you come to Sixth Middle School?"

Only then did Pei Chuan stop, thanks to his good memory, he remembered Bei Yao's roommate.

His character is rather cold, Wu Mo somehow, facing him is much more nervous than facing Han Zhen. Under the gaze of the teenager's dark pupils, she slowly blushed, and her tone softened: "Last time, thank you for helping me."

She bit her lip and looked at him secretly.

Pei Chuan said lightly: "Yeah." He was silent for a moment and asked her, "Are you in class?"

Of course, she was in class. She was the representative of the biology class, and the teacher asked to help with some things before she got out of the classroom. However, Wu Mo's heart sank as the boy looked at their teaching building.

She tentatively asked: "Are you here to find Bei Yao?"

The last time Ding Wenxiang was a liar was the news that Bei Yao brought.

Pei Chuan did not admit or deny it. He didn't like to answer people who weren't asking, and he didn't have any patience with Wu Mo, so he walked around without her.

Wu Mo felt very uncomfortable.

She has been dreaming these nights, in which she looks like Pei Chuan. His careless tone scared Ding Wenxiang away. About when everyone was in high school, this kind of cold, cruel and powerful teenager is even more memorable.

Wu Mo's love affair is already open, and she is far more clear about what she likes than Bei Yao, who is ignorant. The acid in her heart was almost quenched into poison. Why, why is Bei Yao again

A fire in my heart made Wu Mo run a few steps forward: "We are in class, and Bei Yao is helping the teacher change the papers."

He stopped.

Wu Mo said briskly: "You are Bei Yao's friend, quietly tell you that there will be a surprise the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow's autumn marathon, Han Zhen, the first class member, wants to confess to Yaoyao. Yaoyao received his love letter, but many people don't know about it."

The young man looked back, and in the dark night, his eyes were even more obscure than the night.

Pei Chuan said, "She took it?"

Wu Mo clenched his fingers in his school uniform and said, "Yeah. Have you seen Han Zhen? They match up. He really likes Yaoyao. He knows that confession will be punished, and he runs the marathon every year. How many people can there be? Yaoyao is very touched by this intention alone."

The young man was silent. For a long time, he didn't go to the school building again, and turned around and left the school gate.

Wu Mo lied about this for the second time, but he was not flustered the first time.

She looked at the young man's long back, and gave birth to an inexplicable yearning. If Thaksin believes, he will either take the initiative to withdraw or fight strongly, and it will only hurt Bei Yao or Han Zhen.

Wu Mo returned to the classroom and looked at the classmate Bei Yao, who was quietly looking down at his self-study, and felt some expectation in his heart for the first time.

In the autumn games the day after tomorrow, Han Zhen confessed that Bei Yao refused or refused, and they had to gossip about the scandal. See if you let Han Zhen make a fool of himself in front of all the schools, or promise him to be punished together

The autumn marathon is particularly lively.

The banner was raised, and most students who did not attend would go to help. Volunteers put on their school uniforms, put on school badges, and rode up the mountain by car.

Evergreen Mountain is lush and lush, and a runway was created artificially. Later, railings were built. The railings were strong. People often climb the mountain. Later, they used it to hold the autumn marathon.

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is in line with the tenacity of the marathon.

As long as those who participate and reach the finish line, the organizer will give rewards, so the autumn marathon every three years is particularly lively. It's just that because the third and sixth middle schools are close to each other, there are more contestants, while the rest of the schools are far away and fewer people come.

Shi Tian, the president of the Student Union, walked in the forefront and greeted the volunteers from the first and second grades of high school to get on the bus-such an activity would not be attended in the third year of high school.

Shi Tian was about to become tired and became a dog, and mumbled: "Why am I still doing this as a high school senior? There are so few volunteers this year, so I have to catch strong men, which is not popular."

Beiyao and their dormitory, Beiyao coincides with her menstrual period, so she can only choose to be volunteers.

Although she is usually quiet, she also likes this kind of excitement.

Yang Jia and Chen Feifei participated in the marathon and plan to get a medal as a souvenir for the whole journey. Chen Feifei also hung a water bottle on her neck, and Bei Yao took it down for her: "This is not necessary, it will be very tired. Volunteers will prepare glucose water every short period. If you are thirsty, remember to drink water in the past."

"Okay, Yaoyao, you have to cheer for me."

Before Wu Mo got in the car, she approached Shi Tian, and she begged, "Master, can you let Bei Yao and I go to the top of the mountain! We all want to go up and have a look, please!"

Shi Tian is hearty, thinking about Bei Yao doing such a great help last time, it is not a big deal to transfer a volunteer seat: "Okay, be alert, it is not easy to run up, help."

Wu Mo quickly said, "Of course of course."

The car drove the students to the foot of the mountain.

The volunteers got in another car and took the car up the mountain in advance, and the rest of the contestants gathered.

The horn said: "Dear students, pay attention to the competition. There are a total of six match points set up in the whole section. If you haven't reached one match point, go up and get a ribbon, and record the result by the number of ribbons and the duration."

Jinyang Yang and Zheng Hang, who were discussing sneaking up on a bicycle, said: "..."

The competition can be described as crowded.

In fact, Evergreen Mountain is not steep. On the contrary, it can be used as a marathon point. This mountain is not high and the flattest. It is just a long distance and endurance. It is no different from other marathons.

Zheng Hang turned his head and said in surprise: "Brother Chuan?"

Pei Chuan nodded at them.

"Are you also running? But you didn't sign up, and you won't be rewarded." There is no reward, no honor, then you can run a ball.

Pei Chuan raised his eyes and looked at the place on the top of the mountain: "Just run."

Volunteers take their place and prepare with boiling water bottles and paper cups at the laying supply point.

The mountain breeze in October morning was a bit cold.

A whistle blew, and the students rushed out cheering.

All competitions are always exciting at the beginning, full of emotions, but I don't know how long and lonely waiting for them.

Pei Chuan slowed down and ran.

The October wind blew his short hair and exposed arms, and the crowd dispersed. At first there were many people around, but after getting the second ribbon, there were fewer people.

He was panting, and the stump that was in contact with the prosthesis began to faintly aches, persuading him to give up.

But he didn't know whether it was unwilling or something else, he continued without changing his pace.

Han Zhen is a normal person, and he must be faster than himself. Pei Chuan figured this out and did not choose to drink water.

The third match point, the fourth match point...

Four-color ribbons were wrapped around his arms, and gradually, this road became a person's loneliness. He is not the first, but the marathon distance is stretched, and fewer people can see. However, the sweat wet his black hair and eyelashes, and the pain in his stump made him groan.

The stump is about to wear out.

He panted, looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, and continued without saying a word.

At the fifth match point, he took the ribbon and wrapped it around his arm at will.

The volunteer watched him wet his clothes with sweat: "Drink some water, classmate, don't worry."

He didn't respond and ran towards the top of the mountain.

People with prostheses can play, run, and boxing. But when he was so painful that he couldn't stand still, he realized that incompleteness is always incompleteness.

This road is very lonely, there is no companion, there is no loneliness witnessed by anyone. Only the mountain breeze brushed his sideburns from time to time, and sweat dripped down. Unlike the tiredness of others, he was more painful.

But Pei Chuan thought that although his life and body were low, his mind was not low.

When the last match point was only a hundred meters away, he saw her.

Bei Yao sits at the volunteer desk with a volunteer badge on her shoulders and wears the school uniform of No. 6 Middle School. By her side, there are several boys and girls volunteers from other schools.

There were many people at the end, all looking forward to it. She lowered her eyes and poured water into the glucose, while the others stepped forward to hand over water to the classmates who had finished the course.

As soon as Bei Yao raised her eyes, she saw Pei Chuan.

Fifty meters away, his steps are very slow, just like the nursery rhymes sung when he was a child, the snail always climbs up with a little load.

He is not a snail, but he is running hard with axe feet.

In fact, his pace was not normal at that time.

The hobble is terrible, and the only support is perseverance. By his side, none of the people who ran to the finish line were as strenuous as him. His arms are covered with sweat, like a man caught from the water.

Even Wu Mo at the end of the volunteers' eyes widened, what, what? Why is Pei Chuan so tired

The last twenty meters. He couldn't run anymore, so he could only grit his teeth and walk step by step.

Walk towards her.

Pei Chuan didn't ask for anything, she just passed a glass of water. But he seemed to be unable to cross even this distance.

Shi Tian turned her head, Bei Yao was walking past the protective line pulled up manually, Shi Tian was shocked: "Bei Yao! What are you doing! Don't go there!"

Bei Yao got onto the runway, and she did not answer Shi Tian's words.

Nineteen meters, eighteen meters...

She ran towards Pei Chuan.

Volunteers ran across the border into the track, something that had never happened before. Shi Tian didn't even think that this person would be an obedient and well-behaved Bei Yao.

Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her slightly curled ends were blown up by the wind. Running along the track, two meters or one meter, she was like a falling butterfly, light, with the fragrance of summer.

She stretched out her arms to catch the young boy's body that was almost falling down in the next moment.

This is the first time they have embraced in twelve years.

The girl's slender arms hugged the young boy's thin waist. Her hair was fragrant, like gardenias and lilacs. His legs were severely painful and his lips were chapped. He held her to prevent him from falling.

The amputation under his palm was very soft, different from his own, so soft, so thin, weak and pitiful. He touched the girl's body for the first time.

The boy's palm was hot, he said nothing, his whole body soaked.

"Pei Chuan." Bei Yao was both distressed and angry, "what are you doing in this!"

He leaned against the girl's arms, and his voice was dumb: "I like it." Because I like you so much.

Bei Yao thought he said he liked the sport. She was so angry that she almost burst into tears: "You deserve it if you don't care about yourself so much!"

He didn't refute, nor was he angry, and said in a low voice, "Yeah."

He closed his eyes slightly, and the October mountain breeze was cool.

Only him and Bei Yao on the mountain trail, and 17 meters is the end. Behind her, countless people are eagerly watching.

She got through the protective line and gave him the first hug in her life.

Fragrant, soft, and lingering in the girl's arms, it is the fragrance he will never forget in this life.
